Itinerary

For your Historic District Philadelphia Walking Tour you should make your way to the Philly Tour Hub, Arch Street, between 2nd and 3rd Sts. (229 Arch St.), where your local guide will be waiting inside at the very back of the building. There are two departure times: 10:30am and 2:30pm. Please double check your confirmation voucher before arriving for the tour.

Start your Philadelphia tour at the Philly Tour Hub, where you'll meet your guide and see some great local art and photography inside this historic space. See the Betsy Ross House and hear stories of the birth of the American Flag. Your guide will take you through the charming back alleys of Old City, and you’ll wind up walking down Elfreth's Alley, the oldest continuously occupied residential street in the country.

Next, you'll be treated to a visit inside Christ Church. Inside the church, you'll hear stories of the Founding Fathers, sit where they sat, and learn about the birth of the Episcopal Church in America.

You'll also get a chance to see some great art galleries and fantastic historic industrial architecture along the way. The next stop on the tour comes at Old City Coffee shop where you can grab a quick snack or beverage (included).

You'll get some great views of the site of Ben Franklin's home as the tour continues through Philly’s Historic District. Past Franklin Court, you’ll be greeted with views of Independence Mall, the National Constitution Center, and the U.S. Mint. Walk across the Mall and into the President's House Site, home to George Washington and John Adams during Philly's tenure as our nation's capital.

From there you will pass the Liberty Bell. If there is time you may get the chance to go inside for pictures. Continue to the Curtis Center and walk inside (weekdays only) for a view of Maxfield Parrish's Dream Garden mosaic mural. Then your guide will lead you off to Washington Square for stories of William Penn and a visit to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

The tour then takes you through Independence National Park and the must-see front yard of Independence Hall, site of the signing of the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution. Your guide will also share knowledge of Congress Hall, Old City Hall, the Philosophical Society, the 2nd Bank of the US, and Carpenter's Hall as you make your way through the park.

As this Philadelphia tour winds down, we exit the park and head back into the vibrant Old City neighbourhood. We end the tour at a local brewpub. You'll get a craft beer brewed in-house (or soft drink if you wish) included in the price of the tour, and we'll say a cheers to the beautiful city of Philadelphia.
